Another canceled game for Broward? I assume this was because of Hurricane Irma. I hope our game with Broward is not in jeopardy.

I think you're right about the cause being Irma, as neither ISB's website nor its football twitter account contains anything about the balance of its season being in jeopardy. So as of right now I guess they'll be coming in week 9.

For Harbins sake, I hope Moe and WW win. Elder gets Moe at home so that would be one more L2 game should they be the Crusaders. And I think Elder fairs better against WW than they do LS at LS in week 10.

Not even thinking that far ahead. Just interested to see how each fair v quality opponents. LS and X have a big win over Colerain, but the rest of the schedule hasn't been much of a challenge, outside Scott County for LS. Moe is in the same boat, though they should've beaten a Nationally ranked Trinity. WW has the more impressive overall body of work, with 2 wins over Northmont and Springboro- both playoff teams.

Springboro just lost to Fairmont and is sitting 2-2 a week into conference play, not so sure they're a playoff team this season. Northmont on the other hand looks to be solid. Really the big 3 in the GWOC all look solid Centerville, Wayne and Northmont. Will be interesting to see which 8 can get in the R3 bracket. Definitely think R3 will have a deeper 8 this year than R4 for the first time maybe ever?

For some reason I thought they were 3-1, with a win over Mason. I got that backwards. Pick Central was supposed to be the top dog, and they still might be, but they lost to Trotwood Madison.

I can't help but wonder if Pace lines up at RB full time, if Colerain beats X and LS. He shredded a very good Sycamore Defense.

McBride injured his ankle late 2nd Qtr and Dyer from WCPO just tweeted he's on crutches, regardless I didn't see Moe coming back from that anyways. Should have been worse as X turned it over inside the 15 mid 2nd Qtr.

The LS-WW game has been as entertaining a 7-5 game can be. WW should be up 10-7 or 14-7 though. Fumble inside the 5 yard line which did result in a block punt for a safety (but safety should have been a TD, two Warrior players fought over the ball 8 yards deep and they both dropped it as it rolled out the back of the endzone). Also had a FG blocked from the 5-yard line on 4th and 1, which would ave given them an 8-7 lead. Very impressed with both defenses, but LaSalle's offense is pretty vanilla. Run right, run left, Fade to #81 off play-action are half their plays.

As I typed that, WW scores to go up 11-7, timeout WW deciding whether to go for the xp or 2.

LS-WW game reminded me a lot of the Elder-WW game last season. Can't help but think LaSalle would have had more success if they opened it up with Merrit at Qb. Very predictable playcalling and sort of played as though WW would lose the game so they didn't need to win it.

Joe Eitel has the Elder in seventh place in R4 (7.0500), behind Mason (4-1, 7.6000) and ahead of Colerain (3-2, 7.000). Hopefully the Panthers can get help again this week from GL and start getting some help from OH.

-West always plays East tough, so maybe they can spring an upset.
-Oak Hills is playing at home against Hamilton and they've played better at home than on the road
-Gahanna has another tough game with Pick Central this week

Of the teams that are 3-2 only Moeller and Fairfield are in front of Elder. The GMC is going to cancel each other out so Fairfield's only shot of getting big points would be to beat one of Mason, Colerain or Sycamore. Moeller's final 5 games are close to the stretch Elder is currently in, with the final 4 games all on the road.

I read in the local fishwrap that Pick Central has had Gahanna Lincoln's number for a while: they have beaten the Lions 14 straight since 2001, including three playoff games. Sure hope the Lions are bad hosts and end that streak tonight.

Not an Elder opponent, but somewhat surprising final from last night in R4: Fairfield 21 Sycamore 7. Game was at Sycamore as well. FF was staring at a 6-4 or 5-5 season if they didn't beat Sycamore as they still have Colerian and Mason to play, but this likely puts them in the playoffs. Sycamore likely also will finish 8-2, which will have them in.
